Grants

Grant Program Overview

The Lincoln Community Foundation was established by the City of Lincoln in 2003. The City provided the endowment to initiate an investment fund. Interest earned from this investment is used to award grants to local nonprofit groups that better our community.

Since 2005, the LCF has granted over $330,000 for over 200 projects that enrich our community.

The Foundation works through a rigorous grant review process overseen by the Board of Directors. This approach allows the organization to guarantee both impartiality and a high level of professionalism in the grant adjudication process.
